Helena L\u00e4ks (born 4 September 1987) is a poet, editor, translator and publisher.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tL\u00e4ks was born in Kuressaare and studied philosophy and theology at the University of Tartu. From March 2022, she has been working as literary editor at the Estonian Theatre for Young Audiences. She is a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union from 2015.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tL\u00e4ks\u2019 debut collection of poetry Helena l\u00e4ks<\/em> (\u2018Helena Went\u2019) appeared at the end of 2010. This is a strongly experimental and, in the opinion of many critics, a rebellious book, which placed L\u00e4ks among \u201cangry young women poets\u201d. The second book of poetry, Korrosioonikihk<\/em> (\u2018Craving for Corrosion\u2019) appeared in summer 2014 and consists of 15 poems. The tone of the poems has calmed down and is not stormy and piercing anymore. L\u00e4ks\u2019 poems have been published in the periodicals M\u00fc\u00fcrileht, V\u00e4rske R\u00f5hk, Vikerkaar<\/em> and Looming<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe has published a children\u2019s book Kasside salajane pagarit\u00f6\u00f6koda<\/em> (\u2018Cats\u2019 Secret Bakery\u2019).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTogether with poet Maarja P\u00e4rtna, she founded the small publishing company Elusamus (\u2018Enlivening\u2019), which operates in Tartu. She has also published interviews, articles, criticism of music and literature. She has edited poetry collections of many young Estonian poets and translated fiction from English into Estonian.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
